Jan Haemers
Chief Executive Officer
Jan holds 3 Master in Science. degrees in mining engineering,
geological engineering and hydrological engineering. He also holds a
business administration degrees from Solvay Business School
INSEAD.
He has been working in soil remediation since 1991. After he
founded the company now called SARPI Remediation (1993), where
he pioneered bioremediation, soil washing and thermal desorption,
he started his own company in 1999, dedicated to thermal
treatment. In 2001, he acquired the USA based company TPS
Technologies Inc. and started Research and Development for new
thermal technologies. His company, Haemers Technologies is now a
leading In Situ and On Site thermal desorption company worldwide.
He is the main inventor of more than 15 patented and patent
pending in situ thermal desorption technologies. Jan lectures soil
remediation at various universities and engineering schools in
Europe and is also R&D registered expert for various EU R&D
programs (FP6, FP7; H2020). He spent his career bringing
sustainable and circular technologies to markets, with tens of
partner companies around the world.
